While the Justice Department’s Bill Barr and John Durham investigation into what sparked an Obama-era intelligence community probe that led to the Trump/Russia “collusion” accusations is expanding to reportedly include the likes of John Brennan and others, the Democrat and mainstream media (pardon the redundancy) spin is this:

A review launched by AG William Barr into the origins of the Russia investigation has expanded significantly amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis. @KenDilanianNBC @Tom_Winter @JuliaEAinsley https://t.co/A00qZoPC0S

“Amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis.”

It’s come to this:

The total lack of curiosity over what went on before the Trump-Russia probe got started, what took place overseas, and who Mifsud was working with (if anyone) is astonishing. https://t.co/6ZtGfoIjOs

Mollie Hemingway put everything into perspective:

It's not lack of curiosity but self-preservation. The truth makes the entire Resistance (media/Dems/NeverTrump/etc.) look foolish, stupid, corrupt, etc. It's in their interest to pretend that investigating what the heck happened is somehow inappropriate. https://t.co/3vpXy8Tpem

Bingo! When an investigation revolves around Republicans, the spin is on the allegations. When an investigation involves possible Democrat wrongdoing or misdeeds, the spin is to discredit the investigators.
